Specification of Letters Patent.

Original application ied Dctober 24, 1916, Serial No. 127,350. Divided and this application tiled April 8,'

To all 'whom z't may concern.' i

Be it known that I, Josnrn KoMoRoUs, a citizen of the United States, residingat 4249 Twenty-first Place, Chicago, in the Y county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new-and useful Improvement in Structures Comprising Disks Covered with Flexible Material, of which the following is a specification.

Iy invention relates,

more particularly, to structures comprisinfr flanged circulaimaterial, as for which are 'crimped over'circular members, as for example disks, with the edges of the covering material turned back over the flanges and interposed betweenY the latter and the edges of the vsaid circular members, my invention having been devised for use, more particularly, in coin-receptacles of a kind wherein a removable cover-section constructed as above described, is rotatable on the body portion of the receptacle, this application being a division of my co-pending a plication for'U. S. Letters Patent Serial Nlilmber 127350 filed October 24,.-1916.

-It has been found in practice particularly Where Celluloid is used as a covering material'for the cover-sections, that oftentimes the crimping of the parts of the cover-section to connect them together does not cause these parts to besuliiciently rigidly clamped together to prevent the (zelluloid-covered disk from rotating on the circular member, in the rotatingv ot the cover-section on the body ofthe receptacle, as for example to move the cover to a position foropening the receptacle, such relative rotation of these parts being very objectionable particularly as the covering usually has a mark thereon which indicates the position to which the cover-sections should be rotated before the cover-section lcan be removed. i

My object is to provide, by the employf ment of novel, simple and inexpensive means, for the engaging of the inturned portions of the covering with the inner circular member in a manner which Will prevent rotation of the covered disk upon the 4 inner circular member.

vReferring to the accompanying drawings: i

elevation of a coin-receptacle embodying myl improvement.

Fig. 2 is a seetiontaken at'the lin'e2 onl Fig. 1 and viewed in the direction of the Fig. 3 is a plan view of the inner side of outer disk of the cover-section, and its covering, in section.

The partlcular constructlon of coin-receptacle shown and in connection with whichl I have chosen to illustrate my invention, but

without intention of limiting it thereto,

compris@h a. circular wall-section 5 and a bottom-section 6, these two sections forming the body of the receptacle, a cover-section 7, and means for locking the cover-section to the body-section.

The `bottom-section 6 is formed of a flanged outer disk 8 and an inner disk 9, the outer disk being covered with Celluloid or other suitable `covering material-indicated at 10, and crimped at its flange to the outwardly flaring lower edge portion of the wall 5.

The cover-section 7. Generally stated. is formed of an inner dik 11v and an outer flanged disk 12 covered with celluloichvor other suitable'covering material,' as represented at 13, the edges of the co\'e'."ng1naterial extending around the annular lange 14 of the disk 12 and being interlliosed between ,this Harige and the peripheral 4edge of the disk 11, which latter is held to the disk 12,

by the crimping of the -tlauge llover the' -member 11 as shown in Fig. 1. A

The means shownl'or locking the coversection to the body-section involves anin- 15 on the upper Pcontaining a series. of of downwardly and raadapted, when the cover 7 extends into one position register with, andv pass below the recessesl whereupon the cover-section may be rotated y onthe body-section to interlock the lugs 17 with thev portions of the'lange 15 between the recesses 16," and a seriesof spring fingersl on the bodyv of the receptacle, to y l when moved into registration with a mark.

prevent registration of the lugs 17 with the recesses 16.

It will be understood that the coinreceptacle illustrated and described presents a marked instance of` a structure wherein it is desirable that the parts of the cov/eredisk be prevented from rotating relative@ftd/each bther. If such rotation occurs ythe,operatdr instead of rotating the dislrlul relative, to the body-section will v.merely `rotate 'thecovered (disk 12 relative to` 'thedisk' 11 and this will prevent the relative movement \of the cover-section 7 and the body-section of the receptacle to the proper position\\f0r di sengaging the lugs 17 from the flange l-f Furthermore should the covered disk 12`\c`arry a mark which on the wall 5, indicatesto the operator the position to which the cover-section 7 should be moved on the body-section to disengage these parts, the relative rotation of the disks 1i and 12 would destroy the v functioning of such mark.

According to my invention I provide in the peripheral edge of the circular member 11 a plurality of notches some of which are indicated at 20, these notches being preferably arranged at substantially equal distances about the member ,11,l i hd of any desired number preferably, `intlae case of a coin-receptacle to be carried in the pocket of the user. 10er 12. In the process of crimping the flanged portion of the disk 12 into engagement with the memberl l1, with the 4covering 13 interposed therebetween, to the position shown in Fig. 1, the inner edge portions of the Celluloid covering 13 bulge, as indicated at 2l, into the notches 20 generally to the position as shown in Fig. el thus producing an interlock between the covering 13 and the walls of these notches and operating to hold the parts of the coversection 7 rigidly together to such a degree that in the manipulation of the device the parts of the cover-section will perform as a unitary structure. It will be observed that by my invention the desired interlock of the covering 13 with the member 11 may be effected without requiring any eXtra operation in the formation of the cover- 55.1section, without weakening the structure and without additional expense.

lll-hilo 1 have illustrated and described a particular-embodiment of my invention,

Ido not wish to be understood as intending to limit it thereto as the same may be variously modified and altered without departing from the spirit of my invention, it being my intention to claim my invention as fully and completely as the prior state of the art will permit.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. A structure formed ofa flanged disk having covering material extending over a face thereof and over its flange, and a circular member interlocked with said flange, with the said covering material interposed between said disk and member, said member containing a notch in its periphery into which the said covering material extends yand interlocks therewith for the purpose having covering material extending over a I face thereof and over its flange, and a circular member interlocked with said flan'ge, with the said covering material interposed between said disk and member, said member containing notches in its periphery arranged thereabout in a series and into which the said covering material extends and interlocks therewith, for the purpose set'forth.

3. A receptacle formed of relatively-rotatable body and cover portions, said cover portion being formed of a flanged disk having covering material extending over a face thereof and over its flange, and a circular member interlocked with said flange, with.

the said covering material interposed between said disk and member, said member containing a notch in its periphery into which the said covering material extends and interlocks therewith, for the purpose set forth.

l. A structure formed of an inner circular member containing a notch in its periphery, and an outer disk having a flange about its peripheral edge with covering material extending over a face of said disk and over its flange, said flange being crimped into interlocking.engagement with said circular member with said covering material interposed between said flange and the periphery of said circular member', and the said covering material extending into said notch.
